Eight hours is an average days work
Work is continued only about eight months
in the year, leaving out June, July, Au-
gust and September. The reason for Shis
vacation is three-fold. First, at the end of
the season the men who have been work
ing steadily find themselves physically pros
trated, the increased temperature outside
rendering the hot air of the inside intOler-
able Second, work is discontinued in
order to avoid over-production and enable
the manufacturers who have accumulated
large stocks to sell before r:- ain.
Third necessary repairs have to be e~made
to the furnaces, and the summer months
are selected as the most opportune season.
The lowest daily wages received by a
journeyman blower is S1.50 per day. The
highest known is S12 to SIS. This
amount can be made only by the most ar
.duous ever-exertion, however, as when a

The apprentice boys earn one-half the
wages Of journeymen. They are allowed
to draw only one-sixth of their wages, how
ever, during their apprenticeship, the en-
ployers retaining fifty per cent. as their
own, and the balance, one-third more, is
retained for the boy until the expiration of
his term as security of continuance at
service. A great many of the glass-workers
go into the business early as helpers to the
blowers, and, after gradually learning it,
are taken on as apprentices, their term
lasting from four to six years. In the
window-glass trade no apprentices are al
lowed and the greatest precautions are
taken to prevent Over-crowding.

What though around me all is dark,
And am blindly treading
An unknown path, on which fall tears
cannot keep from shedding?
l know twill sometime all be right
AT eventide there shall be light
l cannot tell why all day long
The darkness must enfold me;
But well know who walks beside,
With hand outstretched to hold me
And faith must be to me as sight
Till evening" when there shall be light.
Sometimes l think God does not care
Think he is not needing
Because He sends no flash ofjoy
In answer to my pleading
Then starlike CLEANS that promise bright:
"At eventide there shall be light"
And so lay my hand in His.
And ask Him just to guide me.
will not mind aught else ifI
But hear his voice beside me.
And all the shadows shall take flight
When evening comes and there is light.
